San Diego Padres Tickets

There’s a ton of excitement around the Padres as new GM AJ Preller came in and drastically improved the roster seemingly overnight. Preller acquired Justin Upton, Wil Myers, Matt Kemp, Craig Kimbrel, and James Shields in the offseason. That’s an unbelievable All-Star cast to have on any team, let alone adding them all in one offseason. Upton and Kemp began the season hot but Kemp soon cooled--the Padres still need to find balance between their stars, like those two, and holdovers like Alexi Amarista and Jedd Gyorko if they want to continue scoring enough runs. Interestingly, the pitching has been more of the problem for San Diego this season. This has to be the first time pitching has been a concern for them in a long time. But after Shields, Tyson Ross and Andrew Cashner, the back of the rotation has some real question marks.
Regardless of how this season turns out, the Padres are undoubtedly a much more entertaining team to watch. They play at beautiful Petco Park in downtown San Diego, one of the most affordable and family-friendly modern ballparks in baseball. The Padres last made the playoffs in 2006 although they came just one game away in 2010 and finally have the offense to get them there this year.
